Description

Margaret Mitchell on her classic novel: "I am so glad that you thought my book would bring about a better understanding between the two sections of our country. If 'Gone With the Wind' did nothing else, then I would be supremely satisfied"

TLS signed “Margaret Mitchell Marsh,” one page, 7 x 9.5, personal letterhead, April 29, 1937. Letter to Judge McMahan, in part: "Thank you so much for your interesting letter and all the fine things you said about 'Gone With the Wind.' I appreciated them all very much I am so glad that you thought my book would bring about a better understanding between the two sections of our country. If 'Gone With the Wind' did nothing else, then I would be supremely satisfied. Thank you for saying that you thought Rhett was a real and understandable character. It is a strange thing, but most people from out of this section feel that he is not a plausible character. Southerners say that, though he is a scamp, he is very true to type. Many sweet old ladies have confided to me, under oath of secrecy, that he reminded them so much of wild brothers they had had or beaux who were killed in the War." In very good to fine condition, with trimmed edges, and repaired areas in the left margin and along the top edge.
